Crave Nasi Lemak has established itself as Singapore's beloved halal-certified chain, bringing the renowned flavours of The Original Adam Road Nasi Lemak by Selera Rasa to food lovers across the island. With 43 locations spanning popular malls like NEX, Bedok Mall, Jurong Point, and Junction 8, this restaurant has gained recognition from notable figures including PM Lee, the Sultan of Brunei, and the President of Indonesia, cementing its reputation as a must-visit destination for authentic Malaysian cuisine.

What sets Crave apart is their innovative approach to the traditional nasi lemak, featuring fragrant basmati rice instead of conventional short-grain rice. The long basmati grains create a light, fluffy texture with a delicate coconut milk fragrance that perfectly absorbs the accompanying flavours without becoming clumpy. Their signature sambal chili, crafted with both Indian and Japanese chilies, strikes an ideal balance between sweet and spicy, making it accessible even to those with lower spice tolerance while delivering authentic bold flavours.

The menu showcases signature dishes like the 2-piece Spicy Chicken Wings Nasi Lemak and Nasi Lemak Royale, complemented by traditional sides including beef rendang, curry chicken, otah, and sayur lodeh. With affordable pricing ranging from -0 per dish and convenient delivery options through GrabFood, Foodpanda, and Deliveroo, Crave successfully combines traditional Malaysian heritage with modern convenience and accessibility.

No aircon! They provide a stand fan, but it's not sufficient in our climate. The rubbish bins were full and staff weren't clearing them, even though there weren't many customers after peak hours. The Nasi Lemak's rice was nice, and I liked the sambal too.

Overall, the food was decent and tasted as expected. However, the cleanliness and service were very poor. The tables were not clean, the floor had food all over the place, and the dustbin was not emptied. Finished food and trays were left lying around the tables and dustbin area. There were even cockroaches in the dining area. The atmosphere was also very warm and stuffy. I would recommend packing your food to eat elsewhere rather than dining in.

The surroundings are very hot!!!!!!!! Please take action. I asked your staff to open the air conditioning, but they said it never functioned before. What do they think? Leaving customers with this hot feeling? There's no air conditioning functioning here where you eat. Better not to go anymore. I sweated a lot, like doing a sauna here. Such terrible surroundings with a bad environment.

Order form Grab, missing chicken wing. Extra sambal was given but didn’t put any in the Nasi lemak i

Ordered from Grab and the chicken wing was missing. Extra sambal was provided, but none was added to the Nasi lemak itself. The Bandung drink was only filled to 70%. I also received long beans instead of what I ordered (Saturday Lodeh). How can a single order go so wrong? If you're not happy, don't work. Don't give people their orders incorrectly and mess things up. If you don't want to work, then go home.

I used Grab to order, and waited 30 minutes for just one pack of fish fillet nasi lemak. They kept prioritizing walk-in orders and preparing for walk-in customers instead of my Grab order. When I asked the staff why it was taking so long, they still gave me a black face. So disappointed, I will not order from this outlet again.

Halal certified! Delicious Nasi Lemak with different variations and sets to choose from. If you are a fan of Nasi Lemak, it's worth trying from this outlet. The chicken is crispy and the ingredients are fresh too. They have a small but cozy dining area in Sun Plaza Level 1 (just behind Dunkin' Donuts) if you wish to dine in. The packaging for their take-away food is pretty and very presentable, especially if you're purchasing it as a treat or for friends.

Nasi lemak cravings fulfilled, liked the sambal and basmathi rice. Seats for dine-in available here

Nasi lemak cravings fulfilled! I liked the sambal and basmati rice. Seats for dine-in are available here, but it's relatively warm, so you can't really sit here and chill.

Crave Nasi Lemak at Sun Plaza offers a consistently satisfying take on one of Singapore’s most belov

Crave Nasi Lemak at Sun Plaza offers a consistently satisfying take on one of Singapore’s most beloved local dishes — nasi lemak. Situated conveniently on the first floor of Sun Plaza, right beside Sembawang MRT, this outlet is a popular spot for both quick meals and takeaway options, especially among residents, students, and office workers in the area. The star of the show is, of course, the fragrant coconut rice, cooked to just the right texture — fluffy yet slightly sticky, with a subtle lemak (rich coconut) aroma that’s not overpowering. It’s the foundation of any good nasi lemak, and Crave gets it right every time. Paired with their signature sambal chili, which has a good balance of sweet, spicy, and smoky, the dish comes together beautifully. The sambal here leans slightly on the sweeter side, making it approachable for most palates, including younger diners or those who can’t take intense spice. A popular choice on the menu is the Chicken Wing Set, featuring a crispy, golden-brown fried chicken wing that’s well-marinated and juicy on the inside. The batter is light yet crispy, without being too oily, and the seasoning has a nice savoury punch that complements the rice well. Each set typically includes crunchy ikan bilis (anchovies), peanuts, a slice of omelette, and cucumber — all classic components that make nasi lemak so satisfying. For those looking for variety, Crave also offers options like the chicken cutlet set, otah, and even beef rendang, which adds a heartier, more indulgent twist to the usual meal. The rendang, in particular, is tender and packed with rich, aromatic spices — great for those wanting a more filling or flavourful option beyond the standard set. Service at this outlet is generally quick and efficient, even during lunch or dinner peak hours. Staff are polite and focused, ensuring orders are fulfilled correctly whether for dine-in or takeaway. The outlet is kept clean, and the seating area nearby — part of Sun Plaza’s food zone — is air-conditioned and comfortable for a casual meal. In terms of price, Crave falls into the affordable premium range. It’s not as cheap as hawker nasi lemak, but what you pay extra, you get in consistent quality, cleanliness, and the convenience of mall dining. Portion sizes are fair, and the food is always served hot and fresh. Because of its strategic location, it’s a popular pick for commuters grabbing a quick bite before or after train rides, and a reliable option for families and students living around Sembawang. Whether you’re craving a simple yet satisfying traditional local meal, or just looking for something fast and flavourful, Crave delivers a dependable nasi lemak experience. Final Thoughts Crave Nasi Lemak @ Sun Plaza is a great spot for enjoying a modern, consistent take on a classic local dish. With its fragrant coconut rice, crispy chicken, flavourful sambal, and central location, it checks all the boxes for a convenient, tasty meal. While it may not be the cheapest nasi lemak around, it delivers in terms of taste, quality, and comfort — making it a solid choice if you’re in the Sembawang area.

The outlet at Sun Plaza is very hot. Even standing outside the counter to order, you can feel the intense heat. It's a pity for the staff working inside as the heat is terrible. Nonetheless, their service from Syah & Hairul is still good, and the food is good too.
